Background
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 1, 2015, the Department published a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on silicomanganese from India for the POR.\1\
Petitioners,\2\ in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(b), filed a request for
an antidumping duty administrative review of two companies: Nava Bharat
Ventures Limited (Nava) and Universal Ferro and Allied Chemicals, Ltd.
(Universal).\3\ Subsequently, on July 1, 2015, the Department published
a notice of initiation of administrative review with respect to Nava
and Universal.\4\ Nava filed a letter on July 8, 2015, with the
Department stating that it had no shipments during the POR.\5\
Accordingly, the Department sent a no shipment inquiry to U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) on July 15, 2015, requesting a response
within 10 days if there was any information indicating that Nava had
shipments during the POR. The Department did not receive any
notification from CBP that Nava had shipments during the POR. On August
25, 2015, Petitioners withdrew their request for an antidumping duty
administrative review of Nava.\6\

Partial Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the Secretary will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that
requested the review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review.
Petitioners' August 25, 2015 withdrawal request was submitted within
the 90-day period and thus is timely. Because Petitioners' withdrawal
of their requests for review is timely and because no other party
requested a review of Nava, we are rescinding this review with respect
to this company, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). As the
request for an administrative review for Nava was the only request
withdrawn, the instant review will continue with respect to Universal.
Assessment
The Department will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries. For Nava, the company for which this review is
rescinded, antidumping duties shall be assessed at a rate equal to the
cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of
entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of
this notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement may result in the presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return/destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with section 751
of Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: December 2, 2015.
Christian Marsh,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations.
